Yellow color. Almost exactly the same as Heineken, but it's a bit more bitter than other pilseners but that gives the beer some difference from usual pilseners.

Bottled. Brownish amber. Sweet, malty and bready. Well rounded with rather bitter finish.

2013: thought it would be time to rerate :-). Bottled, large sample. Clear amber color, short frothy off-white head. Aroma is light fruity, bit toasted malts, caramel. Bit bitter, quite sweet actually, but not bad to be honest. Caramel touch is pretty nice, but it still is not an impressive bock. Bit boring. Upping the score, because the aroma aint that bad 4-->7. 2002-rate: Clear red brown color. Sharp malty aroma, chemical. Malty taste. Small bitterness in the palate. Not an impressive bock. 3.0 2001-rate: Very clear red-brownish color. Brand is usually a bitter beer, but this dubbelbock didn’t have that typical Brand taste, what is kind of a pity. I wasn’t astonished by it’s great taste i can say. 3.2

Golden colour. Minimal head. Herbal spicy and mossy hops mix with bready malts on the nose - it’s all very nondescript. Mild palate, with some minty hops and bready malts. Relatively clean and balanced macrobrew, with a mild bitterness. Drinkable.

Clear light-brown color. Exactly the ale you expect Brand to brew: with a bitter touch. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Sylvester on 31 Mar 2018 at 22:30 - Score: 6

Tastes like a strong ale. Amber coloured beer. As all Brands, typical Brand hop bitterness. Also good to make some good meat.
